projects 2

And yes, as stated by a great man, projects is good when its starts, the finish is for others!

This is another project that is superimposed on the other: Rebuilding the French infantryman during the years 1845-1860 primarily wars Crimea and Italy .

For many years I am interested by the Second Empire (a continuation of the conquest of Algeria !). Off, for lack of a reenactment group in this period , I chose to direct me to the civil war taking place over the same period with the same types of equipment, and even regulations (the U.S. regulations are copied to the French!). The group serious and good atmosphere we finally convinced me!

For some time many people in this group that speaks to me in parallel to reconstruct the French infantryman Crimean Italy. Attendance at the blog " warfare in The age of steam " I was also greatly inspired! The fact that English or Russian groups do the same is motivating. The proximity of the battlefields of Italy North suggests the possibility of finding other groups of enemies and to "fight".

We therefore decided to launch Andfon and me in this adventure (he is the engine for quite a long time!) , soon joined by our usual sidekicks! Here we are four, and everything to do! It was shortly to be that Elsewhere is the most exciting , we argue in unimproved land (at least not by our knowledge?).

The choice of line infantry was made because it is the most interchangeable depending on the conflict, and least expensive . More like this idea developed by the group Civil War to honor the basic soldier, who belongs not an elite unit, the infantryman the simplest, most represented in the armies too! There are too many groups who choose elite units! Of course we have been tempted to walk the hunter, the Zouave, the Turkish .... The last argument for the infantry is also economically and technically, gun is least expensive of the range, and easily findable ! (go to find a rifle to 1848 to stem the Zouave! "and if you find it, which I doubt he'll have to pay, and after that, you dare not leave the field and you are right!). following two principles: the basic soldier and a moderate cost, and we also decided not to make a rifleman of center companies (The most numerous!). Indeed, the rifleman against a pomegranate or a fielder has the advantage of not having a sword 1831 with his slider, which makes a considerable saving! Nothing said by cons, as we do in the future equip ourselves for not able to make the flyer and pomegranate also inter-changing shoulder pads!

Here we are at the stage of consolidation of documentation and the first control tissue and already! Other articles will follow to keep abreast of developments in this project. If by chance there are volunteers, I would say this: you agree , Re-employing you, you will see the country ....... and contact me!
